MANILA (Mabuhay) — President Benigno Aquino III continued to enjoy higher grades from survey firms, this time with the Social Weather Stations (SWS) saying 73% of Yolanda victims were satisfied with his performance during and after the onslaught of the super typhoon.

The survey, done from December 11 to 16 last year, revealed that there was “higher satisfaction ratings for [Aquino] among victims of Yolanda compared to those who were not victimized by the super typhoon.”

Among Yolanda victims, 73% were satisfied and 19% were dissatisfied or a net satisfaction rating of +54. This is classified by SWS as “very good”.

Among non-victims, 69% were satisfied and 21% were dissatisfied, for a net satisfaction rating of +48 or “good”.

The survey used face-to-face interviews of 1,550 adults in Metro Manila (300), the Balance of Luzon (300), Visayas (650), and Mindanao (300). The SWS said there were error margins of ±2.5% for national percentages, ±4% for Visayas, and ±6% for Metro Manila, Balance Luzon and Mindanao.
